"Man" is just an external label that seems to indicate some underlying difference, living life as a man is a process of discovery of what the essence of a man is
You can't understand what a man is if you are not one....
The Gilded Age didn't end because corporations had a change of heart lol
Well, they had a change of mind. They realized that they could truly solidify their power by working with the unions instead of against them, making any true, new competitors have to jump through the same hoops. That and they used it for near infinite PR.
As if how we judge a person or their actions should be done by reference to a global mean or average of all the ethical weights behind all actions.... So, today, murder is a little less bad because there are fewer bad consequences of murder, in totality, across the globe, but tomorrow the proper crime to commit will be rape.
They need to pick one. They can either:
Live as a cohesive yet dispersed "diaspora" that gets its tentacles into every country and every institution and the subverts them to become comfortable with their group's interest over their own (such as unrestricted immigration, economic "globalism," sympathy for Communism, etc) OR
Have the entire Free World build and sustain for it a new ethno-State in its "ancient home" by dint of pure international realpolitik (something akin to the CCP and USSR banding together to recreate a "Cherokee State" in the middle of North America and grinding Americans into the proverbial dust).
The two are both heavy asks, but given that their ethos are also contradictory...? YOU SHOULD ONLY GET TO PICK ONE
the foundations of woke were already well installed, but the targets of woke were different. It seems "less" woke only because many of the assumptions in media that you take for granted were baked in wokeness from before you were born
As an exmormon I can speak to this. Mormons literally believe that as members of the LDS church they enter into the Jewish covenants. They have "Patriarchal blessings" wherein someone's "tribal heritage" (meaning of the 12 tribes of Israel) is supposedly revealed. The Book of Mormon purports to recount the colonization of the Americas by a group of... You guessed it, Jews. Mormons are born out of the 19th century American mysticism traditions in which Jews, Jewishness, and the Bible are at once exotic and sacred.
Well they're 50%+ of donation sources for DNC and like 30%+ for RNC. They dominate in the two biggest cities, NY and LA, and the two most important professions: finance and entertainment. They're so powerful and so successful that they determine the basic shape of US economics, media, and politics. And yet they're either so insular, stupid, or delusional that they believe they're oppressed to the extent they always must change their names, hide their identities, and try to "pass" as Beaver. And if they're not those things, they're blind to the obvious facts that they have collective preferences that differ from other groups.
